What's your overall grade? Then what's your pick by pick grade? Starter? Contributor/rotation guy, special teams, wasted (Jerry) pick?
Here's mine. First off, I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid we will rue not taking Manziel but anyone who doubts Jerry would prefer to win over merely selling tickets should see this as a strong counterpoint. Jerry probably lost a half billion dollars in jerseys and ticket sales by NOT taking him. Anyway, I was also initially mortified that we didn't trade up a bit in the first when Donald fell out of the top 10 and then again when we gave the Skins our third. But overall I give us a B-. I think we got 2-3 possible day 1 starters plus 3-4 strong rotation contributors. My favorite pick was Dixon in the 7th. Believe that will turn out to be a huge steal.
Rd 1) OT Martin: grade A: solid pick, seems like a day 1 starter who will really solidify our OL for a long time
Rd 2 + Rd 3) DE Lawrence: grade B, would be an A except we gave up our third to the stinks, this guy better be a player as we could've easily had another starting OL in the third
Rd 4) LB Hitchens: grade F, huge reach, better players were available
Rd 5) WR Street: grade B+, solid value for a good player who I suspect will contribute quickly
Rd 7a) DE Gardner: grade A, excellent value, I can see him contributing by mid-season
Rd 7b) LB Smith: F, UDFA at best
Rd 7c) S Dixon: A+, love the player, think he's better than anyone we currently have at the position and we got him in the 7th round.
Rd 7d) DT Bishop: A, great pick. Need position, quality player, tremendous value. Could see him getting some rotation time at some point in year 1 (hopefully not because of injuries)
